to my ears. David Ensor(sp?) just told Wolf Blitzer on CNN that the government official who told Chalabi about the broken code, drunk or not, is "looking at an espionage case and probably life in prison."

This is about to get real serious, real fast.

1. It'll be just another nail in the coffin, IMO

Bush will suffer a "death of a thousand cuts", not a death from one single major blow. They will obstruct and procrastinate with this just like they've done it with the Plame leak. In the meantime, some other story will come along and drag everybody's attention away.

2. Do any of the stories say who was the drunk official?

3. Not yet

There is speculation, but that's all.

But shouldn't they be able to find this out? If they can't, then security clearances and classifications are apparently worthless. Of course, I thought that about the Plame leak too. How many people in the White House would know the identities of covert CIA agents? It's not exactly something every Joe needs to know. :shrug:

4. Have you heard anyone named in the speculation?

Curious.

This gets bigger and bigger each day.

5. Must have been Nixon

Since, just the other day, there was a story about him being too drunk to come to the phone and poor Henry had to cover for him. Damn Nixon keeps screwing up our country.

I hope, I hope!!
